TOILET-PAPER PACKAGE AND BlNDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,888, dated August 15, 1899.

Application filed November 12, 1897. Renewed September 23, 1898. Serial No. 691,707. (No model.)

To all '1l/'7mm it may concern:

Beit known that I, FRANK H. HOBERG, a citizen of the United States7 residing at Green Bay, in the county of Brown and State of lViscousin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Paper Packages and Binders, of which the following` is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in toilet-paper packages and binders and pertains especially to the class of packages designed to be supported upon flat suspensionplates either in an exposed position or in cabinets. Itis well known that these plates vary greatly in construction and in the means provided for suspending the package, some being provided with a slot or opening near their upper ends, while others have a projecting` pin or hook and others are merely provided with an oll'set portion along their upper edge.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and cheap form of package the binder of which is adapted to engage with any form of suspension-plate for the purpose of supporting the package thereon.

In the following description reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a rear view of a toilet-paper package provided with my improved binder. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing my package suspended from one form of plate. Fig. 3 is a rear view of my package, showing a modified form of binder. Fig. 4 is a side view of the same, showing the package suspended from a plate provided with a holdinghook.

The package of paper A is bound together by a wire B, running through a perforation in the package near one end and bent over to form arms Z) b on the front and rear surfaces of the package, which bind the sheets together. On the rear surface the wire extends approximately to the end of the package and is formed into a loop C, the end of the wire D being extended downwardly from the loop to form a hook, as best shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The wire is somewhat elastic and yields sufficiently to permit the suspensionplate E to wedge in between the end D and arm h', and the loop is sufficiently large to enable a pin or hook F, projecting from the plate, to enter the loop, and thus suspend the package. I also prefer to insert in the loop C a ring G, by means of which I may suspend the package from a point somewhat above its upper edge. The ring is serviceable in cabinets where the hooks are located in a recess above the highest point at which the package can be placed and does not interfere in cabinets where the package is placed close to the tops, as the ring can then be folded downwardly, as shown in Fig. 2.

'Where the ring is used, the loop C may be formed to stand out at right angles to the rear surface of the package, as shown in Figs. l and but I usually form it laterally-that is, in a plane parallel to that of the rear surface of the package, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. As a new article of manufacture, atoiletpaper package bound near one end by a wire extending through the package and bent over upon its front and rear surfaces, said wire being formed into a loop at the end of the package, adapted to be engaged by a supporting pin or hook, and a downwardly-exten ding end adapted to form a hook to engage elastically over the edge of a supporting-plate, substantially as described.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a toiletpaper package bound near one end by a wire extending through the package and bent over upon its front and rear surfaces, said wire being formed into a loop at the end of the package, adapted to be engaged by a supporting pin or hook, a ring engaged in said loop, and a downwardly-eXtending end adapted to form a hook to engage elastically over the edge of a supporting-plate, substantially as described.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a toiletpaper package bound near one end by a Wire extending through the package and bent over upon its front and rear surfaces, said wire being formed into a loop at the end of the package, adapted to be engaged by a supporting pin or hook, and a downwardly-extended end adapted to form a hook to engage elastically over the edge of the supportingplate, said loop and hook being arranged in a plane parallel with the icar surface of vthe package, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

FRANK H. HOBERG.
